Siheyuan: Get the system at the beginning
Chapter 57 Conspiracy
Yi Zhonghai is already middle-aged, and the couple has no children. Naturally, he values his apprentice Jia Dongxu who lives in the same courtyard the most, because he wants him to take care of him in his old age. And given his character, he will not put all his eggs in one basket.
So after forcing He Yuzhu's father He Daqing to leave, he naturally placed the goal of retirement care on He Yuzhu. Now everything is developing according to his expectations.
Jia Dongxu's wife was carefully selected by him. She is a capable and filial daughter-in-law, but what is that Zhang Xiaoyan next door? Ever since she came to the courtyard, there has been no peace. In Yi Zhonghai's eyes, Zhang Xiaoyan is not only a thorn, but also a female hooligan who is disobedient, disrespectful to the elderly and young, and has no morals. If such a person marries Sha Zhu, it will inevitably affect his plans in the future.
After all, he has already instilled in Sha Zhu the idea that he should help the Jia family on a daily basis and make him the purse and dining hall of the Jia family. If he marries Zhang Xiaoyan, that woman's disrespect for the elderly and love for the young, then Sha Zhu will definitely not help the Jia family anymore.
That would be absolutely disadvantageous to him, and Yi Zhonghai naturally didn't want to see it, but the deaf old lady not only had something on him, but he also had to take advantage of her identity, so he was torn for a moment, and even the drunkenness had dissipated a lot.
"Why? Old lady, I see you seem unhappy."
The deaf old lady was not in a hurry either. She didn't even touch the water on the table. She would not touch the cold water unless she was extremely thirsty. Seeing Yi Zhonghai frowning after drinking the water just now, she knew that she would never drink cold water again.
She sneered in her heart. No matter what, she still wanted to fulfill her grandson's wish.
"Why would I be unhappy, old lady? Since Zhuzi likes her, it's okay for us to help to introduce her to him. But if she refuses, we will inevitably not see each other again after living in the same courtyard. Wouldn't it be too awkward?"
Even though Yi Zhonghai was unwilling in his heart, he did not dare to openly oppose the deaf old lady. Instead, he expressed his proposal indirectly. Those who did not know would think that it was for the other party's good.
"What's the big deal? It's a done deal. I don't believe this girl can run away after losing her reputation."
The deaf old lady said this sinisterly. Yi Zhonghai never expected that the old lady would do this. However, he felt relieved when he thought that if this was true, he would have a handle on her and she would not dare to be unfilial to him in the future.
"You are awesome, old lady! I just can't think of this, so what should I do? I will definitely cooperate with you if you give me the order."
Yi Zhonghai felt at ease, and his whole body and mind relaxed. He said to the old lady solemnly,
"Tomorrow is the New Year. I think it's pitiful for a girl like you to be away from home. Tomorrow night we will have a reunion dinner. It's reasonable for you, the master of the courtyard, to invite the other party to have the New Year's Eve dinner.
It's Chinese New Year! It's okay for young people to have a few more drinks during the festive occasion. Anyway, I have plenty of rooms here."
The deaf old lady seemed to have said something but also seemed to have said nothing. Her meaning was very clear. Lao Yin was more natural and understood more clearly than Yi Zhonghai.
The two old men thought that no one knew what they were saying, but they didn't expect that the person they were talking about next door could hear it all clearly.
"Humph!"
It's really like an old man eating arsenic - he is tired of living.
Zhang Xiaoyan did not expect her luck to be so good. She had just used the reward of 'Sharp Ears and Eyes' on herself and was getting used to it when she heard a conspiracy against her.
Since these two old guys want to play so much, let’s play to our heart’s content.
Zhang Xiaoyan was extremely angry. She knew that these two people were not good people and had character problems, but she didn't expect them to be so bad. She also didn't expect that this old deaf man with not very agile legs and feet was so kind to He Yuzhu that he would scheme against others for this fool!
Forget it, this is none of my business. Thinking of what happened to Jia Dongxu's mother, a strange smile appeared on Zhang Xiaoyan's lips.
What Zhang Xiaoyan didn't know was that the owner of the name that flashed through her mind was slamming the table in horror.
"........."
Mrs. Jia likes to sleep in when she has nothing to do during the day. Today it was cold but the kang was warm so she naturally crawled into her favorite bed. Although she had a quarrel with someone today, she was very happy because she had made some money. However, she didn't expect that she couldn't make any sound when she woke up.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Jia Dongxu drank two sips of white wine at noon and was sleeping soundly in bed. As a result, he heard a loud slapping sound on the table and woke up immediately. Then he saw his mother slapping the table without saying anything. He couldn't help but ask with concern, and looked at Qin Huairu who had just come in after hearing the noise.
"I don't know either! I heard some noise outside, so I came in. Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Huairu was also confused. If she hadn't heard the table slapping sound too loud and she couldn't avoid it, she wouldn't have wanted to come in. Anyway, her son was outside playing with other children in the yard, so she had an excuse not to come in.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Stop banging the table! You're banging your head so hard, and it doesn't hurt."
Seeing that his mother still ignored him and kept banging the table and even slapping her own legs, Jia Dongxu was a little scared. He quickly lifted the quilt, sat up, and reached out to control his mother's arms.
Only then did Mrs. Jia react. She opened her mouth for a long time but no sound came out. She was so anxious that she pointed at her own throat with one finger and at her son's throat with the other.
"Is Dongxu's mother's throat sick and she can't make any sound?"
Qin Huairu said with some speculation,
"You are blind. I can see it at a glance. Mom, let's not worry. Are you getting angry? I'll ask Huairu to make you some soup to reduce the heat. You can try it first. If it doesn't work, we'll go see a doctor."
When Mrs. Jia heard her son's words of comfort and saw his concerned look, she felt relieved. She nodded and looked at Qin Huairu fiercely.
Qin Huairu nodded quickly and agreed.
"Mom, Dongxu, I'm going to go make some medicine for Mom to relieve her internal heat. You stay here with her."
After saying that, he went out in a flash. As for the decoction for reducing fire, ordinary people like them naturally had some folk remedies and dried herbs at home.
"You just can't make any sound. Do you feel any pain in your throat?"
Jia Dongxu couldn't fall asleep now. Now that his mind was clear, he naturally noticed something was wrong. After all, even if his throat was inflamed, it shouldn't be so severe that he couldn't make any sound.
Looking at his mother who was sweating because of anxiety, Jia Dongxu directly grabbed the pillowcase and wiped it on her head.
Mother Jia naturally understood what her son said. She felt it carefully and didn't feel any pain. But this was what she was most afraid of.
